A Rock Lawsuit.

This bird is not very well-known in
America, because he is an English
bird. But he is very much like the
crow, which our farmer boys know so
well. Rocks live in colonies, many
thousands going off together and build
ing their nests in the tops of neighbour
ing trees. In these bird towns or
rookeries there seem to be certain
laws which all the birds understand
and obey. One of these laws is that
no rock shall build nest within the
limits of the town except those born
there, and another forbids the young
rocks going out of the town to build.
If any bird dsobeys these laws the
other birds promptly tear down his
nest and drive him back to his native
town. They are also said to hold
courts for trial of offenders. The birds
assemble upon few trees, the guilty
one sitting by himself, with dropping
head; and after much croaking and
flying hither and thither, which we
may imagine is their way of examining
the witnesses and hearing the pleas of
advocates the charge of the judge
and the verdict of the jury, the birds
fall upon the culprit and execute the
sentence of death, or whatever the
penalty may be.-Selected,

Spring or Fall.

We have two or three inquiries now
before us as to whether spring or fall
is the best time to set out trees. We
can't tell how often we have treated on
this subject, but it is natural that the
question should continue to be asked,
as young men grow up, marry and
either 60 to farming or in other ways
possess land and desire information as
to what fruit-trees to plant and when
to plant them. In very few words we
would say that there is not much choice
in the seasons. If the soil is naturally
moist spring is probably to be preferred
for setting out; if dry, fall. If the trees
are large early fall should be chosen,
and as soon as the tree is growing and
the leaves begin to drop. In both cases
the tree should be taken out of the
ground carefully and with as many of
the small roots as possible, and be
planted as soon after as possible, before
the roots become dry. To prevent their
becoming so they should be we'll COW
cred, kept out of the sun in transport
ing and " heeled-in " or buried and
literally watered as soon as they arrived
until ready for planting. The planting
cannot be done too carefully. The hole
should be large enough to receive all
the roots carefully spread out, and the
ground put about them should be fine
and rich. If the roots are too big they
should be somewhat pruned and the
branches of the tree also. Sometimes
the branches, where the roots are few
and have been injured in taking up,
should be severely shortened, to save
the life of the tree. -Germanto,Un T'ele-

Report Of the Wisconsin Dairy
mems Associations.

We have received from the secretary.
ID. W. Curtis, Esq, the fifteenth annual
report of the Wisconsin Dairymen's
Association. 1t is handsome volume
of two hundred forty pages, bound in
cloth, and is the report of the meeting
held at Sparta February Sth, 9th and
10th of the present year. 1t seems full
of interesting matter, and at the end
of the book there is dairy map of the
state, showing by counties the number
of cows and the product of each in but
ter and cheese. Several counties pro-
duced over a million pounds of butter,
and some more than that Grant county
holds the banner, at two and one-half
million pounds, while Rock and Dane
counties follow, with over two million
pounds each. OF cheese Sheboygan
county leads, with almost nine million
pounds; Fond du Lac, over five mill
ions; Greene, over four, and several
others from one to three millions. We
observe that the report is submitted to
the governor as other official reports
are, and printed by the state printers;
so we assume that the state pays for it
and the association is enabled to pub
fish its report while it is yet fresh
and valuable. The Vermont Dairy
mems Association has done most valu-
able service to the dairy interests of the
state, but the state has never seemed
to appreciate its work, and its reports
have to lie over to occupy a pauper's
portion in the report of the Board of
Agriculture, necessarily limited in
space for lack of funds. The associa-
ton has few copies (never more than
five hundred) in pamphlet form for dis
tribution, and that when so late that the
interest in the matter is greatly dimin-
ished. If the Vermont Dairymen's
Association supports its own meetings
the state should at least promptly print
its report, and in such numbers as will
secure its general distribution to the
dairymen of the state who were I'M
unable to participate in its meetings.

A Season Song.

Our orchards are ripe, our vines are bending
Low in the sun down their purpling rows;
The keen-edged stroke of the sickle descending
Sewers the corn,
And the breath of the morn
Is as rich as the wine from the press that flows
The stubble slopes of the grain-field glisten
with tinge like gold as the fleet days pass;
The windharps music you hear, If you listen,
Murmuring low,
Now swift now slow,
And russell stain lies over the grass.
Through wine and orange the woods leaves shading
Have painted the land like a lovely fire;
Oh, how can 1t be that the old years fading
When 1t blooms anew
With each royal hue
That the soul of an artist could well desire?
There's mufiied sound of nuts down dropping,
And the ring far away of a lively fail
The sweet June hay from the mows is cropping,
And the dun wait
At the barn.yard gate,
While the chore-boy lags with the mikng-pail
The days shrink shorter, the nights grow chilly
The wood.pile swels to enormous size
The wnnowed grain from the slant fields hilly
Goes down the hill,
To he ground in the mill
And the farmer waits for a drop-price rise.
Now gay is the land. as with rocking laughter;
There's a tang in the air that abolishes ills,
Away with thought, though care follows after,
There's no time for signing
While autumn is flying,
With fruits in the orchards and nuts on the hills

IT is a matter fit for congratulation
that the Ohio State convention at Its late
session, endorsed so heartily the Hon.
John Sherman's candidacy for the Re-
publican nomination for the presidency in
1888. Looking at 1t in all possible lights,
there Is no ono man in the great Republic
can party 50 deserving Of this high hon
or at the hands Of his party and at the
same time able to make the strong fight
that Sherman is. All must admit that
while others have, through the disap-
pointment Of personal ambition, either
been altogether inactive or rather luke
warm during certain political campaigns,
Sherman has always been to the front and
supported to the best Of his ability the
ticket nominated, no matter how obnox-
Il 1t may have been to him personally.
And, again, Sherman stands to-day SO
well with the business interests of the
country Mt large that he would undoubt-
edly receive q strong support from that
class of our citizens. And Is their any
man in the Republican party to-day who
can carry New York against Grover
Cleveland, should the latter be nominal

Tho Terrible Hot Smell.

July, 1887, will be memorable as dating
the terrible hot spell of the century. 1t
is ascertained that the temperature of
last month exceeds the temperature of
any July during the last eighty years,
which Is rs far back as we have record,
and Its record as noted in the official
weather bureau largely surpasses that of
any month since the organization of the
bureau In 1871.
The largely increased mortality of the
last four weeks tells the fearful story Of
the death .dealing power of the hot spell.
All who could escape In some measure
from the worst effects of the extreme heat
did SO; but unfortunately a large major.
ity of the inhabitants Of the city could
not get away from home, and q startling
death list logically followed.
1t Is predicted that the extreme heat Of
July will be equalized by more moderate
weather during the remainder of the
season. We know no special reason for
expecting exemption from heat In Au-
gust because Of extreme heat In July,
but the theory is that the seasons some.
how manage to equalize themselves.

fall Of the year will be about the average
during the twelve months, regardless of
drought or hoodss-lfr4rAequal a~irunetA4zaf,
moisture Is always In existence SOME
where; but the logic would seem to fail
when applied TO heat that is not ex.
hausted in Its resources by incorporate
use.
The true philosophy is to carefully
study adaptability to extremes in the
weather; and in doing so, let 1t not be
forgotten that each day Of protracted
heat steadily weakens the vitality of all
who are exposed to it. The man, woman
or child who feels impaired vitality
from heat, as is indicated by growing
lassitude, diminished appetite, imperfect
sleep, sensitive stomach or lightness or
pain In the head, should be admonished
to increased care in avoiding exposure
or exhaustion of any kind. There is no
safety to persons who feel. such results
from excessive heat. and II Is inviting
serious and possibly fatal consequences
o ignore these plain admonitions.-

ner insists that the, phrase voting for

Whether tho submission be mt a general or

AWAY from the polls, and fail 10 exercise their

therefore conclude that II. in voting on the

The above are butthe opinions of afew,
but they appear TO represent the views
OF the great majority of the legal talen,
of the state, and TO that class Of our citi.
zens questions of this kind have to be
finally submitted.
The policy of those against the amend.
ment will doubtless be affected more
or less by the decision to which the great
majority of the legal fraternity shall
come on the subject Of the Interpretation
Of this clause Of the state law. II there
should be a p~reponderance of legal opin.
ion in support of the majority vote con.
struction, the probability is that the oppo-
nents of the amendment, far from en-,
c%ouraging the non.action of voters, will
endeavor to swell the vote in favor of the
same and reserve for future contest, In
the event of their defeat, the question Of
the constitutional right of the Legislature
to submit the amendment at o time other
than q general election.
On this subject we ourselves have no
halfway opinion. We believe with the
gentlemen quoted above that the right OF
consideration in any voter depends en-
tirely upon his own actions. and that the
man who has not the stamina In him to
come forward and plant his ballot square
ly for or against an important question of
this kind is not deserving of recognition,
and VIC are further of the opinion that
the Interpretation of the law as expressed
by the above quoted gentlemen is the
only right solution of the problem.
